Having posted my last, much larger and more complicated, piece on here a few days ago, I came to the crushing conclusion that I know very little about palettes :b

Here are two images of the same piece with different palettes(both with the same albedo, but with differing light values). Any and all criticism is welcome, but I'm primarily interested in comments concerning the color choices, banding, and antialiasing.

Additionally, is 24 too many colors for this size of piece. Obviously subjective, but I'd like to hear opinions.
